Eldred Morrissey, of LeMars, was painfully injured and lost considerable
blood the evening of July 22nd when he was forced to take the ditch when he
met a reckless driver. The car came to an abrupt stop at the bottom of the
ditch and Morrissey put out his hand to save himself. His right hand passed
through the windshield, cutting two arteries and severely bruising the hand.
The members of the Carel family, who live near where the accident occurred,
came to the young man's assistance and took him to LeMars where he received
medical aid.
